Not enough flow maybe.
Not sure how that works but reminds me of freshwater sloughs or ponds that are somewhat stagnate and they will build up that green surface. |

Skimmer- Coralife Super Skimmer 100
As far as agitation, hardly any at all since I put Micro socks on my overflow tubes.Hmmm. I think I need more agitation,like maybe a 400 MJ ? |
